Arsenal squad's first impression of Eddie Nketiah shows why he is now a regular in the first team at the Emirates Stadium.Nketiah has become an integral member of Mikel Arteta's side in recent weeks, starting each of Arsenal's last five matches and scoring four goals in the process.

The former England youth international joined the club aged 16 after leaving Chelsea's academy before being promoted to the first team in January 2019.Ahead of Thursday night's trip to face Tottenham Hotspur, former Gunners winger Theo Walcott opened up about Nketiah's first training sessions with the Arsenal first team.Speaking on Sky Sports, Walcott explained: “I remember when Eddie first came across to the first team, and the first thing that struck me was that he was fearless.“A very good player, a very good finisher, and of course going out on loan is going to turn him into a better player.

I am glad he has got his opportunity now not so much because of his finishing, but because of his pressing and he gets his rewards, like he did against Leeds last week.“I feel like Mikel (Arteta) is one of those managers that will reward you from what he sees from you in training.

I played briefly with him, and he is a hard worker. At the moment, he is reaping the rewards.”Will Arsenal qualify for the Champions League?
